You have astonishing and toughtful in-laws. As for your parents, there's no need to "patch things up" nor is there a need to write them off. The relationship is what it is and by leaving it at that, you don't waste energy on it, but you don't close the door to reconcilliation. Congrats on your other family being so good to you during this time.
